Welcome to Elizabeth Barrett's Learning Commons
What is a Learning Commons?
A Learning Commons takes school libraries into the 21st century. The goal of the learning commons is to enable all students to be engaged thinkers and ethical citizens with an entrepreneurial spirit. The concept of a learning commons is a shift in thinking from a library as a physical space that is a repository of books, to an inclusive, flexible, learner-centred, physical and/or virtual space for collaboration, inquiry, imagination and play to expand and deepen learning. A learning commons is an agile and responsive learning and teaching environment available to individuals and groups to use for multiple, often simultaneous, purposes. It supports literacy, numeracy, competency development, and student learning outcomes through access to an instruction in the effective use of print and digital resources.
